Why are bands like Hammersmith Gorillas or Crushed Butler considered Proto-Punk? I dont see it...

― yoko0no, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

Crushed Butler's "It's My Life" is sooooo proto-punk: Bo Diddley distorto-groove played with violent force and all the grace of a drunken gorilla.

Plus, they're called "Crushed Butler". Q.E.D.

Yeah, seriously. No disrespect to yoko0no, but these topics have been driven into the ground.

elvis presley, carl perkins, jerry lee lewis, billy lee riley, sam phillips, dewey phillips. richard berry. all were around doing something or another, except maybe dewey phillips--well, maybe he was drinking and popping percodan in some godforsaken memphis suburb--during the interregnum betwixt elvis, i mean reg presley and the paul mccartneys, i mean the ramones. that one christian act who did "jesus freak," don't know them but that sounds about right.

Fairfield Parlour : "In my box"

― Mark G, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 08:28 (eighteen years ago)

Are you writing a book, Mr Yoko zero Ono?

― Mark G, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 08:35 (eighteen years ago)

I always thought of "In My Box" as one of the best songs Syd Barrett never wrote, which makes me wonder if Floyd's "Bike" should be on the list as well, which has all sorts of disturbing implications...

― dlp9001, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 08:50 (eighteen years ago)

Ah, someone else that's heard it!

Wire were often compared to early pink floyd.
"In my box" is not too far away from "Outdoor Miner"

― Mark G, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 09:06 (eighteen years ago)

Neu!?

Yeah, dude, haven't you heard "Hero"? I've always thought the Sex Pistols sounded like John Lydon basically tring unsuccessfully to rip that song off.

Also paved the way for Shaun Ryder. or something.
